Or, "Your Boss Doesn't Think the Way You Do"
Where I work we used to have a contest during our annual meetings. Winners were awarded prizes and given a small (10" ) plaster bust of Thomas Edison (yes) in gold, silver, or bronze (yes, I know). We stopped doing this 4 years ago.
Well yesterday my boss had 3 of these in his office and I asked him how he had them (thinking perhaps he was reviving the concept). He replied in a tone of disgust that when a former employee left, she left these in her office. He added that he was surprised she didn't take them home as she had won them - that apparently she didn't value what they meant.
He had FIRED that employee about 7 months ago. And she has not worked since.
So why the hell would she take 3 plaster Edison heads home? As a reminder that she was fired?
Guess I better keep the 6 I have in the office around.
